Historia da Familia Tsuge

Our History

Agriculture has always been a part of the Tsuge Group, with its history rooted in family tradition, care, and respect for the land, passed down from generation to generation, originating in Japan, where they aimed to offer their products in the best markets and add quality and value.

These values accompanied the Tsuge Family after they came to Brazil in 1954. In 1974, Naohito decided to establish in the municipality of São Gotardo, where he acquired three plots aiming to cultivate rice, soybeans, and coffee.
However, the rice crop struggled due to the high altitude in the region, and the first soybean harvest yielded less than ten sacks, leaving only coffee. Learning came through practice and the use of appropriate technologies for the lands of the Minas Gerais Cerrado region.

The work and dedication of the Tsuge Family made a difference once again. Working with perennial crops like coffee, they learned to plan for the long term. Achieving this future vision, they decided to diversify with avocado cultivation, which is now the main and only crop of the Tsuge Group.

Today, the Tsuge Group aims to be a global reference in avocado hass production, a variety known for its distinctive flavour. With the mission of offering Brazilian consumers the same quality product exported to Argentina and Europe, the Tsuge Group bases its production on obtaining the highest international quality certifications. 

The Tsuge Group

The Tsuge Group has been a pioneer in sustainable farming practices since 1974. Focused on environmental protection, biodiversity preservation, and employee well-being, the Group has always sought to produce avocados responsibly and with social consciousness, setting an example for fruit growers. The Tsuge Group is a benchmark in agriculture.

What do you know about Avocado

Avocado Hass is a fruit with resistant skin, soft flesh, mild flavour and a creamy texture. It is rich in healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It is often present in salads, guacamole, Mexican dishes, sandwiches, smoothies, and other dishes. Some studies also suggest that avocado consumption may have health benefits, such as reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Yes, avocado is considered a very nutritious fruit. It is rich in healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fats, which can help reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, vitamins K, E, C, and B-6. Additionally, avocado is a good source of dietary fibre, which can help promote healthy digestion and a feeling of fullness. It also contains antioxidants, such as carotenoids and polyphenols, which can help protect cells from cellular damage.

Yes, people who practice sports can eat avocados. Avocado is a rich source of healthy fats, which can help provide energy during physical activity. It is also a good source of fibre, potassium, and vitamin K. These elements can be healthy. However, avocados are also relatively high in calories, so they must be included in a balanced diet and avoid overeating.

Yes, children can consume avocado. Avocado is a rich source of healthy fats, which are favourable for the growth and development of children. It is also a good source of fibre, potassium, and vitamin K. Those elements are beneficial.

However, avocados are relatively high in calories, so they may be included in a balanced diet and avoid overeating. Additionally, some children may have food allergies. So is worth observing if they get reactions after consuming avocado.

It is recommended that children consume a variety of foods to ensure good nutrition. Avocados can be included in children's diets, but it is important to avoid excess and include other fruits. 

Choose ripe avocados: They should be soft to the touch and have a uniform colour. If you need them ripe quickly, store them with apples or bananas (these release ethylene, a natural gas that accelerates fruit ripening).

Store correctly: If you're not using the avocado immediately, store it in the refrigerator to prevent it from ripening and becoming soft quickly.

Consume promptly: Guacamole made with ripe avocado should be consumed soon after preparation, as avocado darkens quickly after being cut and exposed to air.

Avoid waste: If you only need half of the avocado, store the other half with the pit and wrap it in plastic film or a plastic bag to prevent it from darkening.

Use in different preparations: Avocado is versatile and can be used in various dishes, such as guacamole, salad dressing, smoothies, desserts, etc.

Avoid overeating: Remember that avocado is relatively high in calories, so it's important to include it in a balanced diet and avoid overeating.
